What officer and board positions should a student-run magazine have?
My school previously had a club called The Calliope, which organized occasional writing events and published a compilation of submissions from students. Unfortunately, it fizzled out this year, but I’m eager to revive it next year. I want to maintain the tradition of a published book but transform it into more of a monthly student magazine. What roles do you think would be essential for its success?
Has there ever been a concept that confuses you so much that when it’s time for the test, all you can do is hope to pass and never have to deal with it again? Yeah, I really hate science.
My counselor won’t allow me to switch classes, and it’s really frustrating. I’ve been trying for months to move from regular Pre-Calc to Honors Pre-Calc because the curriculum is nearly identical, except for the last two units. In my first semester, I earned a high C (78), and right now, I have an 87 in […]
My Calculus Grade Update This semester, we have three individual tests, one of which is the EOC. I just completed my first test and scored 82%. Together, these three tests will account for 65% of my overall grade, and my goal is to keep an A in the class. Unfortunately, my grade dropped to 87% […]
That sounds like a fantastic initiative! Bringing back the Calliope in a magazine format will provide an engaging platform for students to showcase their writing. Here are some officer and board positions you might consider for your student magazine:
Editor-in-Chief: Responsible for overseeing the entire magazine, coordinating the team, and ensuring content quality.
Managing Editor: Assists the Editor-in-Chief, manages deadlines, and helps with administrative tasks.
Section Editors: Depending on the variety of content you want to include, you might have specific editors for different sections (e.g., Fiction, Poetry, Non-Fiction, Art/Photography).
Copy Editor: Focuses on proofreading and editing submissions for grammar, style, and clarity.
Layout and Design Editor: Manages the visual layout of the magazine, including design elements and formatting.
Marketing and Outreach Coordinator: Handles promotion for the magazine, including social media, school announcements, and events to boost submissions and readership.
Submissions Coordinator: Manages the process of receiving and organizing submissions, ensuring that all pieces are tracked and considered.
Events Coordinator: Plans and organizes writing-related events (workshops, readings, launch parties) to engage the student body and promote the magazine.
Treasurer: Manages any budget or funding for the magazine, handles expenses, and keeps financial records.
Technical Specialist: If you’re creating an online version, this person could manage the website, blog, or digital format of the magazine.
These roles should help create a structured team that can effectively manage the magazine while allowing for creativity and collaboration. Good luck, and I hope your efforts to bring back the Calliope are successful!
